RUDGE ANDREW D-BOOK

How to answer legal questions  draft legal opinions and pass Paper D of the European Qualifying
Examination.   The D-Book has been prepared with the intention of offering advice and support
for candidates preparing for and sitting the legal papers of the European Qualifying
Examination (EQE) and Pre-examination.   Part A offers general advice on how the legal papers
should be approached and should be used in conjunction with attempts at past papers in order to
develop strategy and tactics before sitting the exam itself. A certain number of key legal
principles are explained in Part A  all the decisions of the Enlarged Board of Appeal are
annotated with EPC1973 EPC2000 cross-referencing and techniques are demonstrated with past
papers.   Parts B and C set out the relevant law under the EPC and PCT  respectively that needs
to be assimilated. Subject matter in these sections has been set out in a logical sequence that
mirrors the stages of the patent examination and granting process an applicant encounters in
real life. With all the relevant legal materials relevant to each topic brought together  and
ordered systematically  it should be easier for even newcomers to patent law to locate
important legal basis quickly. The chapters in parts B and C have been aligned to the maximum
possible extent  allowing the reader to readily compare and contrast the counterpart stages of
the EPC and PCT procedures.   From 2025  extensive changes to the current EQE and the
corresponding preparation courses are planned. In 2025  the changes will only affect the
current preliminary examination  which will be replaced by a so-called »foundation paper« 
while examination papers A  B  C and D will remain current. These will then be progressively
replaced by new papers (M1 - M4) in 2026 and 2027. The new format of the EQE will have an
impact on the further design or continuation of the ABCD-Books beyond 2025-26.   Edited by:
